This should work just as well on any OS with most VMs. What happens is that a password locked drive first shows a CD/DVD ROM mounted with the software appropriate to the OS (Windows or MAC) and once you connect it to the Windows VM, it runs that software to unlock the drive. Once unlocked, it also shows the full disk as a separate drive which is recognized by boot OS as a regular drive.
If someone can reverse engineer the unlock.exe that comes with the drive and write equavalent utility or write a wrapper around unlock.exe then we can use it in Linux and contribute that to our Open Source movement, we would appreciate it.
